Chapter 26 Stupid Qi Buchen looked at the person in front of him through his narrowed eyes...
Qi Buchen looked at the person in front of him through squinting eyes, not understanding why this person was not angry.
"Aren't you angry? I got mad at you for no reason."
Yinzhen was actually a bit strange. He was not a good-tempered person on weekdays, but for some reason, his wife lost her temper in front of him twice. He was just annoyed for a while, and then he started to worry about why his wife was angry. It was really strange.
But this couldn't be said directly, Yinzhen said unhappily: "My Lord won't be angry about such a small matter."
"I'm sorry." Qi Buchen apologized again. No matter what, it was wrong for her to lose her temper. "I shouldn't have done that."
Yinzhen sighed: "If you feel sorry, don't keep everything in your heart in the future. Tell me. Do you think I won't care about you?"
Qi Buchen lowered his head. It was fine to just listen to this kind of thing, but there was no real emotion in the royal family.
Yinzhen stood up after he finished speaking, not noticing her subtle resistance: "Please pack up, the palace banquet is almost here."
"Yeah." Qi Buchen responded softly.
Yinzhen: "I can't stay here for too long, I'll leave first."
When he went out, he saw a group of people guarding outside, and Mammy Ham was holding something in her hand.
Yinzhen took a look and said: "Are the eggs ready? Come in, hurry up."
"Yes." Madam Hama led people to see Yinzhen off respectfully, and then went into the room.
Seeing Qi Buchen's swollen eyes, Mammy Ham sighed, "Why is Fu Jin so willful today? If she offends the master, what will happen in the future?"
Qi Buchen said nothing, but just gestured to Baozhu to peel the egg and press it against his eyes.
The egg was very hot, and Qi Buchen couldn't help but flinch when it touched her skin. Baozhu held her down and said, "Please bear with it, Fujin. If it's not hot, it won't work."
Qi Buchen certainly knew this principle. What happened just now was just a physiological reaction. He controlled it and just endured it.
Looking at her, Mammy Ham sighed that Fu Jin was still so stubborn. Well, seeing her master wasn't angry, she didn't seem angry. As for the future, she still had to think things through. She glanced at the maids Baozhu had brought into the palace from home, thinking that they were getting older and needed to be arranged sooner rather than later.
After applying hot compress, the swelling subsided a lot, and after applying some powder, it was no longer noticeable.
Qi Buchen packed up and went out of the outer room, only to find that the meal was being served in the main room.
Yinzhen sat upright and looked at her: "Alright? Come and have dinner."
Qi Buchen sat down hesitantly: "Where... did this come from?" On a day like today, Yinzhen, as a member of the royal palace, should not have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a meal for him alone.
"I've asked someone to come over from the imperial kitchen." Yinzhen explained briefly, "It's quite simple. Eat. It won't be easy to eat at the palace banquet later."
Qi Buchen took a quick look around and found that it was indeed quite simple, consisting of porridge, noodles, steamed buns, dim sum, and, yes, an egg custard.
Her eyes lit up and she gestured to Baozhu to bring the bowl of egg custard to her.
Yinzhen didn't stop him, as it was specially prepared for her. However, he still said, "Eat more staple food. You won't have much for breakfast. You'll be hungry soon."
Qi Buchen smiled when he heard this and agreed obediently: "Okay."
Yinzhen felt relaxed all over, and a voice in his heart said that a wife like this was really lovely.
After finishing his meal, he went out on time. After taking a few steps, he saw Yinzhi walking not far ahead.
Yinzhen's face darkened unconsciously. Qi Buchen glanced at him, asking with her eyes whether she should go up and say hello. Unfortunately, the man did not look away, and walked at a moderate pace, always keeping a distance from Yinzhi. She understood that the fight between the two brothers was not over yet, so she ignored it.
It didn't take long for Yinzhi and his group to discover them lagging behind. Someone said a few words to Yinzhi, and the group of people suddenly sped up. After a while, they turned a corner and disappeared.
Yinzhen snorted coldly when he saw this, and Qi Buchen laughed, but she didn't say anything, just said: "My lord, don't drink too much, I'm leaving." The palace banquet was divided into two areas for men and women, so the two had to go separately, but they could be together again at the family dinner in the evening.
"Um."
Yinzhen responded and watched Qi Buchen leave. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice from behind: "Fourth brother."
He turned around and saw Yinqi and Yinyou: "Fifth brother, seventh brother."
"Fourth brother, let's go together?" Because the princes needed to learn three languages: Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, Yinqi always spoke Mongolian directly when talking to his brothers.
Yinzhen replied in Manchu: "Your Manchu is not good. You should practice more every day and don't take advantage of loopholes."
Yinqi's face fell, and he said reluctantly in Manchu with an accent: "I know." Fourth brother really loves to lecture people. Why is he so confused that he has to come to him for a lecture?
Yinzhen looked at Yinyou again, and when he saw that his brother, who had been silent since childhood due to disability, was dressed warmly, he felt relieved: "Let's go."
The palace banquet was divided into two parts: the male guests were in the Qianqing Palace, and the female guests were in the Jiaotai Hall. In fact, the two were not far from each other, but the distinction between the front and the back palace was like a mirror from heaven.
Even the empress dowager, who has been living a low-key retirement life, has to attend such a big day, but she will definitely be the last to arrive.
Qi Buchen didn't go directly to Jiaotai Hall, but went to Yonghe Palace first. There was always a certain order for the imperial eunuchs to enter the palace, so the process would take longer if there were more people. But he couldn't let the first imperial eunuchs sit in the cold Jiaotai Hall, watching the table and waiting for their food, right? He could only entertain them elsewhere first, and then bring them all over when the time came. Therefore, now, each palace was filled with imperial eunuchs of corresponding ranks, and the main ladies were entertaining them with their noble promises.
When Qi Buchen was called in by Concubine De, the room was already full of people. All the officials stood up and greeted her when they saw her come in. Qi Buchen responded to them one by one with a smile. When she walked to the front, she suddenly found that a familiar lady was looking at her with complicated eyes.
Qi Buchen didn't have time to think about who this person was. He greeted Concubine De first. Concubine De smiled and called out, "I was just talking to your mother about you. Go and meet her quickly."
Qi Buchen's mind buzzed. Oh my god, she actually forgot such an important thing! In today's situation, the original mother was also going to enter the palace! Suddenly, the familiar face flashed through her mind. Ahhh, she didn't even recognize the person at the first time!
His mind was like a volcano erupting, but Qi Buchen outside just paused for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother." Then he retreated to the side of the lady. A palace maid had already cleverly brought a stool over.
Qi Buchen looked at the woman in front of him who looked to be in her forties, and shouted with a complicated heart: "Mother." Fortunately, he didn't have to call her mother, otherwise he really couldn't call her out.
Jueluo said with a loving look on her face: "It seems like you are doing well."
But Qi Buchen felt that this display of kindness was somewhat awkward. How should I put it, it was rather hollow. She recalled her original body's memories, but unfortunately, whether it was because her memories were fragmented or her original body could not remember her childhood, there were not many memories related to the Ulanara family. The clearer ones were all related to her original body's younger brother.
Qi Buchen secretly sighed for the original body and asked with a forced smile, "Is my mother in good health? Is everything okay at the mansion?"
Jueluo's eyes were complicated. She had only been married for more than a month, but she had already learned to be tactful.
"All good." She replied simply.
Qi Buchen had only a vague impression of his original body's relatives and didn't know how to start a conversation. But he couldn't let others see the coldness between mother and daughter and then spread negative rumors, right? So he could only try his best to find a topic: "Where's Wu Ge? Did he make a fuss when my mother came to the palace?"
Speaking of her youngest son, Jueluo's eyes softened and became more natural: "I'm making a fuss, of course I'm not making a fuss, I just want to see you."
Qi Buchen pursed his lips and smiled: "I want to see my brother too."
Upon hearing this, Jueluo looked at her meaningfully.
"There will be a chance."

Qi Buchen: Am I stupid? How could I even forget such a big 'mom'?!
Yinzhen: My dear wife, even if you act foolishly, you are still the cutest!
Qi Buchen: ...[Swings the meteor hammer]
